I know this is slightly off-topic, but I have the same problem when I download my email under GNUs. It hangs for a long time while 50 of the latest "Microsoft Internet Security patches" or other crap are retrieved. During this wait, I would prefer to be working in a another Emacs window, but Emacs won't accept any input. As suggested, is it a "design feature" of Emacs rather than configuration problem? > > -- > Björn Lindström > http://bkhl.elektrubadur.se/ > ICQ: 82945879
